let me ask you

what exactly

do you think

they fed

the animals?

grass

you cant graze in the winter

mongols didn't eat vegetables

this was before farming

you dont need to be able to farm to eat plants

like before we grew plants in a serious amount

or to know which plants to feed your animals

they must have kept hay then

it would depend on the region and climate

Nomadic herders moved seasonally.

they didn't even have copper at this point

they were herding cattle in the stone age

anyways early humans wouldve spent a lot of time picking fruit and eating it

they also harvested wild grains

but the time investment of plants vs animals, animals win out in terms of food for time

i mean we wiped out most large animals

@Lucienne d'Anwyl we are Hunter - Gatherers you ninny.

There are proteins that we need that are simply not available in plants in any significant amount.

All of our great ape relatives actively hunt. (Even gorillas will eat meat opportunistically)

Also, meat is the number one source of easy calories in the wild. Even horses will slurp up an egg or baby bird if they happen to come across a nest.

@ArmouredHeart i didnt say people only ate plants you tard

i said they didnt primarily eat meat

Little late but yeah if you take the expensive piss by itself you get like 1% of it and it's expensive piss.
But if you take it with a meal instead you get a hell of a lot more of it and it's no longer expensive piss, it's now actually what it's supposed to be.

Humans ate mostly meat until agriculture

meat is only an easy source of calories opportunistically

if you factor in calories consumed while hunting

plants become much more attractive

🤷

Our meat consumption has been on a decline

Meat is healthier

our meat consumption has been on an increase for quite some time

xD

wild plants don't provide enough food for large populations

compared to say ancient times

Decrease*

when agriculture was firmly established

increase

meat consumption dropped when we started farming plants in large amounts
